@Pilgrim, Hannah Arendt was a well respected political theorist.

Really? Tell that to the millions that were slaughtered during the war!
-
Why not compare and contrast the actual factual history of the time. To cherry pick to suit your own narrative leads nowhere, but down the road of fallacious arguments.
-
He is wrong and is promoting his own revisionist theories. Historians are in disagreement. His credibility is low given that he bases much of his work on conspiracy theories.

Hitler was not a fan of socialism, but one of his associates was. That is discussed in "Rise and Fall" which I posted earlier. Without the assistance of German and other corporations at the time, Hitler would not have succeeded. Corporate power fused with state power = fascism, at it's most simplistic.
-
Read and listen to what I posted. FYI, Hitler hated the communists/leftists in which he associated the Jews with. If you read Kershaw that will be clear. I believe it is on page 44 of the book referenced. Hint ( Munich).

Joseph Goebbels speeches which are quite revealing as to the ideological tenets of fascism and propaganda. https://research.calvin.edu/german-propaganda-archive/goebmain.htm

I have a very good friend who was a translator at the Nuremberg Tribunals as well as an uncle that was one of the first soldiers to see the concentration camps. To rely on knowing these two persons does not give me license to posit an argument such as yours. The fallacious argument as to history being written by the conquers in this instance is way off the mark. Why? The facts are all in the documents that were captured by the allies which historians used to compile writings regarding that point in time. If you continue to use worn out fallacious arguments as a basis for your narrative, then any discussion is pointless.

The facts are there in the links I posted and anyone who seeks to revise such is in error! Knowing a few persons from that era does not make for a factual argument which is a fallacy of false analogy.

As a racist policy the Nazi's used Jim Crow laws. This is old news for anyone who has studied this.

Don't need to read again. The books and audio I linked to are well worth the time to read and listen to. I am just setting the record straight here.

The bold above is a complete fabrication and does not rely on historical fact! Fascism is a right wing idealogical movement which is easily proven if one has even a modicum of intellectual curiosity. Revisionist interpretations seem to run amok these days which are for the most part the work of Jonah Goldberg. I read his book on fascism and found it to be bereft of historical facts. If you are in the least bit curious I recommend the following; https://www.amazon.com/Hitler-1889-1936-Hubris-ebook/dp/B01AVKWG5K/ref=sr_1_3?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1542299279&sr=1-3&keywords=Ian+Kershaw Dr. Timothy Snyder "On Tryanny" Hannah Arendt "The Origins of Totalitarianism" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004Q9TLJW/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1

A major correction is needed in regards as to how Cannabis has been mischaracterized in that Cannabis is not a drug, but is a herbaceous plant. Pharmaceuticals are drugs, not Cannabis. Another big lie propagated by drug warriors!

This is very good news which should take some of the profit and power away from the cartels. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/mexico-supreme-court-says-ban-on-recreational-marijuana-unconstitutional/ar-BBPbZxw

The biosphere is already in the 6th mass extinction, or Holocene extinction and if key species are wiped out by humans, then our species will not survive. Pollinators are the key to human survival.

Revisiting this thread which I will give updates regarding the legalization movement here in the U.S. and elsewhere. Back later on with comments and updates. I changed the title which was in regards to Nipton California becoming a new resort which features cannabis.

In what way were persons/person defined in 1787? Without that understanding, then one falls into the Originalism/Textualism interpretation which is an error in reason. For such an enlghtened document, then why were women not given equal status with men? Moreover, many of the framers were slave owners. https://scholarship.law.umn.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1558&context=lawineq

In what way does nonlinear dynamics complexity fit into this? Strogatz’s writings?
-
For anyone having trouble with this read his blog. There are a number of things he discusses that can be put into practice. When it comes to tracing sound to it’s origin I was taught the same thing in Dzogchen teachings.

Time is not a linear phenomenon, but fluid?

Who comes back if at all?

One problem I see with discussions of this nature is that language in general is binary and English is no exception. Binary is limited and conditions the mind in seeking simplictic answers in the form of “is” or “to be”. Voidisyinyang is presenting a difficult subject in that if one is unwilling to transform personal conditioning which requires critical thinking and curiosity then why bother.

Why not Google it? Start with commutativity which is a really simple concept.

Prove your statement with factual historical references.
